Point of Desire

The way to your heart

I’m swimming in blood

That’s my only language

The way to your heart

I’m digging through garbage

I’m searching for spare change

Yeah, I’m looking in your eyes

The way to your heart

I love your secret smiles

And all the songs that you sing

And all your highway's miles

And they say, we will be lost from view

We will be lost from view

Yeah, we will be nearer and nearer to

The point of desire

Sat behind the steering wheel

And I forgot my destination

I could see your stupid hands

And I can feel them burn

There’s a big steel bird behind your eyes

Like a steel inside of a burning building

Let the building collapse right down on our heads

Fall down on our laps, on our tiny tiny beds

Saying, we will be lost from view

Yeah we will be beautiful

And we will be nearer and nearer to

The point of desire

Mary was born in the funhouse

She loved the magic mirrors

'Cuz there she could be beautiful

Take your money to the man

Walk right up to the counter

He’ll take out your eyes

I’m sure he’ll put in something that’s better

And he’ll say, “In this world or in any other,

Why is it so easy?”

Yeah, everything’s warm and festive, and everything’s on fire

Am I a beautiful piece of trash, well you’re a wonderful liar

And I’ll never know your name, and I’ll never see you tire

And you’ll say, we will be lost from view

We will be lost from view and

We will be nearer and nearer to
